Iran-backed Houthi terrorists launch a massive retaliation strike on the USS Harry S. Truman.

Just hours after President Trump authorized powerful military action to restore American deterrence in the region, the emboldened Houthis fired 18 ballistic and cruise missiles along with a drone attack, vowing to escalate against all U.S. warships in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea.

On Saturday, President Trump, demonstrating his signature “peace through strength” doctrine, ordered a decisive and calculated military response against Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Trump, donning his MAGA hat and signature golf attire, watched alongside top military officials as American forces obliterated Houthi terror positions.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, hammering home the clear message to America’s adversaries: the era of appeasement is over.

“An era of peace through strength is back,” Hegseth said.

“We are sitting on four years of deferred maintenance from Joe Biden, where in particular when you talk about the Houthis, they were allowed for over a hundred times to shoot at US ships, to shoot at commercial shipping,” Hegseth continued.

“This campaign is about freedom of navigation and restoring deterrence. The minute the Houthis say, we will stop shooting at your ships, we will stop shooting at your drones, this campaign will end, but until then, it will be unrelenting,” Hegseth warned.

“We will not be nice about it. This is not the Biden administration. The message is clear. We will come after the Houthis until they stop shooting at our ships and the Iranians better stay out of it,” Hegseth continued.

As expected, the Iran-backed terrorists vowed revenge, launching a series of brazen attacks against U.S. military assets. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree confirmed that the USS Harry S. Truman was directly targeted, claiming the group fired a barrage of ballistic and cruise missiles alongside drone assaults.

WATCH:

Meanwhile, Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi warned that his militants will now target Israeli shipping in a desperate attempt to gain leverage. He also declared that all American ships were now banned from entering the Red. Sea

The U.S. military has yet to disclose the extent of the damage.

According to Al Jazeera, “US President Donald Trump said he would use “overwhelming lethal force” until the Houthis cease their attacks on shipping along the crucial maritime corridor in the Red Sea.”
